Tool Eulogy Drum Cover - Johnkew

When I first got this album in 1996, I remember my jaw dropping when I heard Danny Carey's polyrhythm on this song at the 6:35 mark. I sat at my drums for hours trying to wrap my mind around playing 3/4 on the hi-hat while holding down 4/4 on the rest of the kit. I put the song on ice till now, and finally worked my way through it. As always, playing a Tool song was a lot of fun, and I hope you like it too. Thanks for watching!

    @ScalerWave Thanks Jim - yeah the intro has all of those triplets happening over the 4/4, it really sounds odd until you listen a few times. I love that drum polyrhythm at 6:30, where Carey plays 3/4 on the hi-hat and 4/4 on the snare/kick, and they overlap every 3 measures - insane.

    6:35 mark had my jaw dropping too mate. They ain't triplets tho. It's a 3 on 4 polirhythm and it stuck in my head so ferociously that still now after years i have even touched a drumstick i unconsciously play it. If math really is God's language then this polirhythm is God's singing.

    I think hes meaning the accent (open hi-hat) on every third hi-hat sixteenth note and he's just referring to it as "triplets". I don't think he literally meant "triplets" due to the fact that he didn't play it that way in this cover.

    @MrSpunkpump Cool, it's great to know that these videos are good for more than one viewing. Each time I learn a Tool song, I'm amazed at how much work Carey put into composing the drums. By the way, as a Rush fan maybe you'll be glad to know that I'm trying to convince a couple of other musicians to collaborate on Freewill.

Hope you read this comment and do your art invency to these genious (like all Tool songs) songs. I'm a bassist by myself and Justin is making me to practice in every free moment with my guitar. Drum 'n bass communication is like this is realle rare in our times.
